About the host

Hosted by Courtney

Host profile image
You’ve probably noticed we don’t have a lot of reviews yet. Let me put your mind at ease about that.

Hi, I’m Courtney, a pediatric doctor. My husband Matt and I are excited to host you in our cottage in Spring Lake. Matt’s family is connected to this area through multiple generations. His grandmother used to teach swimming lessons at Lakeside Beach.

We were lucky to find this sweet, cozy cottage and spent months choosing just the right furnishings to help it feel like a home away from home for our guests. We will do everything in our power to make sure you have the vacation of a lifetime.

Why they chose this property

Welcome to Bluegill Cottage! Bring families or friends together to enjoy some quality time in beautiful Spring Lake, Michigan.

This idyllic, peaceful three-bedroom cottage is tucked away in an off-the-beaten-path corner of Spring Lake, just steps away from the water.

It is the kind of place where family and friends come to enjoy a classic lakeside vacation experience and then gather by the firepit at the end of the day to roast s’mores and catch up.
